I am not much into sci-fi and so bought this movie cheap on DVD and didn't bother getting the Blu Ray, but now I really regret this as it has become one of my favourite movies. The film kept my attention through out. It deserved a bigger budget, but did very well with what it had.

A Dark Menacing Gem of a Film
Use of darkness to focus attention was unique. Nice menacing dark undertone that is lacking in so many optimistic films of the future. The combination of believable actors, story and excellent - but not overbearing CGI - all combined to make this film deserving of your attention. Caity Lotz was freakishly beautiful and menacing at once. Bravo.

I liked this movie and I'm very critical of movies, esp. Sci-Fi. Was it Blade Runner or Matrix? No, but it was enjoyable and had a good ending. It's worth a watch even though the critics didn't like it.

An unusual low budget sci-fi, but they use the budget very well. Very realistic in its depiction of near future technology and well acted by all players. Its dark, understated and a bit depressing in typical British fashion. The UK Ministry of Defence is always way more sinister than its US equivalent. A bit on the slow side but Its worth it. Toby Stephens I'd like to see more of.

Although not perfect, worth a look! This movie kept me captivated the entire way through with all its twist and turns. I would have given this film a high score if it had given just a little more. It felt it should have longer, the story/plot has a lot of potential but makes due within its budget.

I cannot recommend this move which is sad to say as I am a huge fan of all things cyberpunk. Yes it has good ideas and nice vfx but the director fails to pull it all together (poor acting also). The characters are paper thin and the relationships between the characters feel more like a means to an end for the writer rather than actual relationships with any meaning. If you have not seen Ex Machina, please go watch that masterpiece instead. PleaseI cannot recommend this move which is sad to say as I am a huge fan of all things cyberpunk.
